Guest imported_Tesseract Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Something i've noticed, On 'eyes wide shut' Tom Cruise's range rover plates are "87 99" which are the dates of his previous movie (Full metal Jacket, 1987) and his last (Eyes wide shut, 1999). I love it when i discover that kind of shit.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Originally posted by bobobi11 Just when you... THOUGHT YOU KNEW IT ALL? 18. Los Angeles' full name is "El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula." Now you know...everything... That was the original name of Los Angeles. But of course they shortened it to Los Angeles a long time ago. So Los Angeles is the correct name. About that "nothing rhymes wuth purple" thing... you mean when I twist my little nephews nipple and yell "purple nurple" I am in fact not rhyming at all since "nurple" is not a word. Damn. I guess I'll just use the phrase "titty twister" from now on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Handjob Posted November 27, 2001 Share Posted November 27, 2001 Back in the day, Canadians burned down a certain US Parliament building. They had no choice at the time, but to paint over it... with whitewash. Thus giving birth to The Whitehouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
